“Of course it matters. A boy can carry on the family line but a girl will get married in the future!” Zhao Huimin said confidently. This was what she believed in, that was why she was especially concerned about the gender of the child in Guan Meiyi’s w.o.m.b.
However, Gu Zhiqian did not seem to pay attention to this point of Zhao Huimin’s. Instead, he thought of another point. “A girl will get married in the future?”
“Exactly. When a daughter gets married, she will no longer be part of the Gu family!” Zhao Huimin thought that Gu Zhiqian understood what she meant and will finally pay attention to the gender of the child.
Gu Zhiqian turned around and walked to his room. Zhao Huimin was stunned at first. Did Gu Zhiqian understand what she meant? Will he be asking the doctor?
“Don’t forget, your wife is going to have a checkup soon. You can consult the doctor too!” Zhao Huimin called out softly behind Gu Zhiqian. However, Gu Zhiqian did not listen to her at all. His mind was filled with the words: “a girl will eventually get married in the future.”
As Gu Zhiqian rushed back to his room, he saw Guan Meiyi holding her clothes, about to take a shower. Seeing the man rush back, Guan Meiyi was stunned. “What’s the matter with you?”
The man stared at Guan Meiyi’s belly. “Say, if it’s a girl, will she eventually get married in the future?”
Guan Meiyi didn’t understand what Gu Zhiqian was asking, but she had guessed what Zhao Huimin wanted to talk to Gu Zhiqian about. Zhao Huimin had always been very concerned about the gender of the child. She had asked Meiyi several times, but Meiyi didn’t seem to care about it. Zhao Huimin couldn’t do anything about it, so she probably wanted to find out the gender through Gu Zhiqian.
“Yes, when a girl grows up, she has to get married,” Guan Meiyi replied. She looked at Gu Zhiqian, “what’s wrong? Don’t tell me you still have that outdated mindset that a married daughter is akin to waste water?”
If that was really the case, Guan Meiyi would be disappointed in Gu Zhiqian. He had always told her that he liked both boys and girls, and had even assured her not to be pressured. Now that his mother had said that, is he favouring boys over girls?
Gu Zhiqian’s expression was conflicted, so much so that his eyebrows were tightly knitted together. His gaze turned cold. That conflicted and cold look was as if someone was trying to take away his greatest treasure.
Guan Meiyi stared at Gu Zhiqian’s reaction. “What’s wrong with you? Did Mom ask you to find out the child’s gender from me?”
Gu Zhiqian held Guan Meiyi’s hand tightly. He stared at Guan Meiyi’s belly, and said seriously, “if it’s really a girl, what if she falls in love at a young age? What if a sc.u.mbag hurts her feelings? What if she only thinks about her boyfriend and doesn’t pay attention to me, her father? What if she doesn’t have a happy marriage?”
Guan Meiyi looked at Gu Zhiqian in shock. So this was what this man was worried about? Looking at the man’s conflicted look as he began to think, Guan Meiyi burst into laughter.
It turned out that this man was not favouring boys over girls. He was worried about all these useless stuff.
“Sir, isn’t it too early for you to think about this? We don’t even know the gender yet. Even if it’s a girl, it’ll be a long time before she falls in love.”
Gu Zhiqian’s face was still cold. “No, if it’s a girl, then I’ll have to educate her from a young age. She is not allowed to fall in love before graduating from university and all her boyfriends after that must have my approval. She can’t just look at their face. Men who are too handsome or too rich are not reliable!”
Guan Meiyi glanced sideways at the handsome man beside her. “Are you saying that you are not reliable?”
Gu Zhiqian rolled his eyes. “How am I the same? A good man as handsome and rich as me is almost extinct. So, Guan Meiyi, marrying me is the greatest fortune of your life!”
